Pollen in St. Louis, MO

About pollen in St. Louis

Pollen levels around St. Louis are quiet today, with tree pollen registering essentially nonexistent. Anyone who typically reacts to oaks, maples, or other area trees should find little to worry about, and most allergy sufferers should be able to move through the day without much irritation from the air itself. Looking ahead, conditions are expected to hold steady at this low level over the next several days, offering a welcome break for those sensitive to tree pollen. This lull fits the season, since the main tree pollen push from species like elm, maple, and honeylocust in the St. Louis area typically wraps up well before midsummer. With warmer months underway, attention naturally shifts toward grasses and, later, ragweed as the more likely sources of seasonal discomfort.
